The fuel bonus has not widely appealed to the French who are eligible to benefit from it. As a result, the government has decided to extend the scheme.
While the executive planned to close the scheme on February 28, the fuel bonus will ultimately be extended until the end of March. The government made this decision in hopes that many eligible people who haven’t yet come forward will finally make their request. Because, for now, this financial aid aimed at modest households has not been very successful.
“Today, nearly half of those who were entitled to this allowance have not claimed it,” declared Bruno Le Maire, the Minister of Economy, on RTL this Monday. We will therefore extend this allowance, which was set to end in February, until the end of March, so that the millions of fellow citizens who are eligible can claim it.”
How to get the fuel bonus?
The aid targets individuals belonging to households with a reference tax income per share of less than or equal to €14,700. In theory, it is reserved for French citizens who use their vehicle for professional purposes. To receive it, simply fill out a form on the tax office website. Once the application is processed, the money is directly deposited into the beneficiary’s bank account. According to the government, the €100 bonus corresponds to a help of about 10 cents per liter for a motorist traveling 12,000 km annually. Note that electric car owners can also receive the check. Furthermore, the aid is not only aimed at drivers; users of two- or three-wheeled motorized vehicles can also apply.
